Smith’s Act of Contrition and the Battle to be “The Voice of the Cannabis Industry”

May 1, 2018 by Rob Meagher Leave a Comment

Over the last few weeks, there have been a number of announcements and articles that are connected to the behind the scenes posturing taking place to determine the “Voice of the Cannabis Industry”. Two weeks ago, we all read about the deal struck between Trump and Cory Gardner of Colorado and CBE even posted an […]

Despite NYC’s Lenient Pot Policy, This Shocking Marijuana Arrest Statistic Persists

February 27, 2018 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

Four years after New York City unveiled a new marijuana enforcement policy, lawmakers say data shows racial disparities persist in the marijuana arrest capital of the world—and blasted the NYPD for saying it’s due to complaints from communities of color. In 2014, the city unveiled a new policy whereby officers issue a summons instead of carrying out […]

Civil disobedience and cannabis: Time to quit?

May 4, 2017 by David Hodes 3 Comments

This is a tough thing to write about but I think now is the time. Over the last few weeks, over 30 people have been arrested for either possession of cannabis or smoking cannabis in both Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, which happened in part because protestors got up in the face of law enforcement and […]

Legal Marijuana and Its Diversity Issue

September 20, 2016 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

Marijuana Diversity

America’s legal marijuana industry has a huge diversity problem—and it couldn’t be more ironic. The Drug Policy Alliance estimates that less than 1% of the market to grow legal weed is owned or operated by people of color, a startling statistic considering millions of African-American and Hispanic men have been sent to prison for selling […]
